About Nicole
Nicole Uprichard is a counsellor with eight years' experience supporting people through anxiety, stress and trauma. She holds BACP accreditation and works in the United Kingdom. Nicole offers a calm, practical approach that helps people make sense of hard feelings and find manageable ways forward.
Nicole offers both short-term and longer-term work. She combines counselling with coaching when that will help a person reach a practical goal. Sessions focus on clear steps, but also on understanding why patterns keep repeating.
Background and approach
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing adoption and foster care questions, attachment and family of origin issues, and chronic illness or pain.
Nicole draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for practical skills and mindset shifts. Client-Centred and Somatic methods are used to follow the person’s experience and bodily signals.
Sessions are conversational and down to earth. Nicole listens for what matters most then agrees simple, doable steps with the person. She aims to help people feel steadier, make clearer choices, and slowly change patterns that no longer serve them.
Approaches you can use online with a counsellor
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It emphasises values and small committed actions that move a person towards what matters, which can be useful for anxiety and life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build different habits, often helpful for anxiety and depression.
Client-Centred work places the person’s experience at the centre of the session. The counsellor follows the person's pace, reflecting understanding and helping them feel seen before making changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicole will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods with them. This is a collaborative process that changes as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging suits people who prefer written reflection. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional support.
